Sandy’s by the Beech

Great food — burgers! Service excellent! Patrons were laid back and made for nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back to try other meals.

This has become one of our places to go when we want a quick drink and a quick bite to eat.
The service is friendly, the food is good and the drinks are not watered down.

Food was excellent and prices were fair. The only reason I did not give five stars is because the don’t take credit cards. But they do have an ATM, so your covered.
Actually, I hate using my credit card! Thanks Sandy for making my credit card statement a little lower this month!

Great food burgers and the Ruben the best you get anywhere great staff the best bartenders and waiterss. 1.00 $ coneys on saturday &sundays.

Excellent place… great burgers and crispy fries but need to ask. Fun staff and they have keno too.

Not only is this a great place to watch Sports and have some fun but the staff is AWESOME! I’m excited to write this review as it’s not often that I get to write such a stellar review. I recently moved to Michigan and am always looking for great local places. The food is good and atmosphere at the restaurant makes anyone feel welcome. The restaurant only takes case, and while there, I happened to loose my money which fell out of my pocket. What impressed me most was the honesty of the staff. They didn’t hesitate to pick it up and let me know they found it. I highly doubt that this would happen in many restaurants but it just goes to show you that in today’s world there are still good people.

Great place to get a Rueben Sandwich, and watch it being made.

Came here for a quick lunch with a fellow who is a regular. Had the Sandy Burger, ¹⁄₃ lb. with fries and a Reuben. The corned beef tasted like it was cooked on site and the sandwich was a wonderful combination of crisp grilling and creamy interior. The sauerkraut was very mild. My burger was cooked as ordered, medium rare, topped with swiss and served with hot fries that were crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. Tomato, lettuce and raw onion also accompanied per request. The burger was $ 6.50-a great deal considering how well the food was prepared. The service was great. I also had iced tea and it was tasty also. Will come back. Bring cash as no credit cards are accepted. In mid afternoon this business was busy as the locals have found a great spot for a good solid meal.

The lights are dim, the mood is relaxed, and the place smells just fine. The price point is pretty solid and a meal wont set you back too far. I ordered the mozzarella sticks, two coney dogs w/​onion, and salad. The cheese sticks arrived in great shape, do note no marinara, just cocktail sauce. Side salad as expected and coney dogs were good. Overall, two thumbs up!

My family has been coming here since God was a boy and we’re planning to continue the tradition. Do yourself a favor and order the patty melt, medium rare. You’ll never have a better burger. I promise.
Oh and some of the servers have been working there for over 20 and 30 yrs so I’m pretty impressed with how well they must treat their employees.
Oh, and one more thing. I spilled a glass of wine all over the bar and possibly bartender and they were incredibly cool about it. Sweet, actually.

Yummy! Best freaking patty melt ever!!! I challenge any other place to make one as good! Juicy, cheesy, grilled onions to perfection!!! I mmmm’d my way through the whole sandwich. Wouldn’t share a bite with hubs. He wasn’t as impressed with his steak sandwich, especially after watching me devour mine! Service is great, too

I just love Sandy’s! Keeping it simple with cash love it! No cash its cool! It is an ATM on sight. Food, atmosphere, and family feel. During the warm months the patio is the place to dine! Along with the TV to keep you entertained!

I think what makes this place «OK» is that there isn’t anything else in the area.
It smells really, really, really bad in here, especially close to the back, which is where the kitchen is. The mildew/​old stench makes enjoying even bar food impossible.
The food isn’t anything special. My French fries tasted like fish sticks. It was was Friday fish fry day, so I’m sure the fryers just got crossed, but it was still pretty gross.
Service here is good, and the only reason to come in.

I came here 5+ years ago when I was browsing some Detroit area «Best Burgers» list and this place was on my way to the airport. My wife and I agreed it was indeed one of the best burgers we had (at that time). Loved how they gave you all the pickles you wanted in a jar on the table.
Fast forward to 2014 and I put together a group meet-​up with some work buddies, and we all got a burger (based largely on my 5+ year old memory /​recommendation). And the vote was unanimous… they serve a great burger here. Don’t know what they do, but they do it right.
Downside is that they accept cash only and the seating /​atmosphere is nothing great and a bit crammed.

Burgers are not exceptional, the beef could use a dash of salt and pepper, something, that would provide actual flavor. I will try something else on their menu, i love the local bar ambience here. Dollar coneys on the weekends

This is a neighborhood bar & grill operation and the long-​term staff operates as a well-​oiled machine. If you are a regular, they know your name and your favorites. If you are a first-​time visitor, you are WELCOME’d.
Sandwiches are very good. Daily (price) special is typically a real deal. Their burger is not of the GFS: Sysco variety. Served hot from the grill with crisp toppings. Excellent onion rings.
Prompt and attentive service. Hot food hot. Cold food cold. Excellent value. Wish it was closer to home!

Tired of the redundancy of eating at the same place for lunch everyday? If you are fortunate enough to work in the Redford area, then this spot is a nice change of pace from McD’s and Del Taco.
The burger tasted like it was made with fresh ingredients including the bun. The portions were generous, french fries were properly cooked, and the chili had good flavor. Staff seems very efficient and ordering carry-​out was fast and accurate. And like some other restaurants, this place apparently does not like contributing to the growing credit card debt problem that has plagued out society; therefore, cash is king! The overall experience and prime Redford location should be enough to bring you back for seconds.

Never would have guessed it but this place is amazing! All the prices are extremely reasonable (especially the beer). Among this the portion sizes of the meals are awesome!
I order the BLT which was on big Texas toast, and filled with lots of awesomely cooked bacon. Along with this perfect sandwich were a large portion of nicely cooked fries.
My friends ordered burgers, wraps, and onion rings which also looked to die for!
Plus the servers in this place are so kind and family like!

Its been a while since I’ve been to Sandy’s by the Beach, and I found myself here again.
My last experience/​review wasn’t that great, but I wanted to update to say, what a difference a day makes!
First of all, they were very busy and did they’re best to accommodate people so no one had to wait very long, which wins big points.
Next, the place was busy and hectic as mentioned, but the service was quick and the staff operated like a well oiled machine to service all of the customers.
The food was quick, and the burgers were absolutely delicious… for me, equal to or better than any other place in the metro area I have had.
As far as cash only, and complaining about it and even dinging them star because of it… there are no less than 3 signs as you walk in, two if which are right in your face (one on the exterior door, and one at the «wait to be seated» sign at eye level).
If anyone doesn’t notice them, guess what… you may want to reflect on your own issues, like your lack of attentiveness!
Im glad things worked out that I wound up back here, I will be back.
Some of the best burgers around!

Yum, YUm, YUM!!!
I’m a burger-​lover and so not just any beef patty will do, however, Sandy’s by the Beach was already scoring as soon as they sat us down. Right smack-​dab in the middle of the table was a lazy susan full of the most delicious condiments. I went for the dill pickles while waiting on a pitcher of beer which had a ice-​bat attached to the handle to keep it nice and cold.
Then came the burgers and fries.
The buns tasted homemade and didn’t fall apart even though the burger was hefty.
The cheese was perfectly melted on the patty and the burger itself was very tasty.
I tried both the «regular» fries and the sweet potatoes and although they were both good, I recommend spending the extra bucks for the latter.
The service was quick and our waitress was attentive and pleasant.
I know people have not been pleased with the fact that they don’t accept credit cards but if that’s the only complaint, I’m happy to bring cash.
So are we going back anytime soon?
You betcha ;D
